forever and a year.

I’m back.

young.

Look at you. You’re young. And you’re scared. Why? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it loud and dance to it. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?

glimpse of happiness

i’ve never fallen so hard for someone in such a short

period of time. and even though i promised myself i

wouldn’t risk the chance of getting hurt again, for

some reason when i’m with you, it all seems worth it.

summer flings.

Another long summer’s come and gone
I don’t know why it always ends this way
The boardwalk’s quiet and the carnival rides
Are as empty as my broken heart tonight

But I close my eyes and one more time
We’re spinnin around and you’re holdin on tightly
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
No 4th of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go, I understand
But you promised you’d be back again
And so I wonder ‘round this town
‘Til summer comes around

I got a job workin at the old park pier
And every summer now for 5 long years
I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts,
Straighten the tracks
And I count the days til you just might come back

And then I close my eyes and one more time
We’re spinnin around and you’re holdin on tightly
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
No 4th of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go, I understand
But you swore that you’d be back again
And so I’m frozen in this town
‘Til summer comes around

Oh, and I close my eyes and you and I
Are stuck on the farris wheel rockin with the motion
And hand in hand we cried and laughed
Knowin that love belonged to us, girl,
If only for a moment
Baby, I’ll be back again, you whispered in my ear
But now the winter wind is the only sound
And everything is closin down
‘Til summer comes around 

if only we knew all

But I knew exactly where I was. And I knew the meaning of it all. And I knew the distance to the sun. And I knew the echo that is love. And I knew the secrets in your spires. And I knew the emptiness ofyouth. And I knew the solitude of heart. And I knew the murmurs of the soul. And the world is drawn into your hands, and the world is etched upon your heart. And the world so hard to understand is the world you can’t live without. And I knew the silence of the world.

hallelujah

as we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. and when that happens, i guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda.. buckle up and just keep going.

mistakes were ment to happen

i’ve decided that dwelling on the past is going to get me no where in life, but down.  consistently looking back and taking into account the million “woulda, coulda, shouldas”  has become my passion lately- actually for the past 7 months.

 i’ve come to realize that mistakes make us who we are. they help us become passionate about what we believe in. they help us open our eyes and realize how demanding & unreasonable we truely are in this ever changing world.

its time to let our true beauty unfold-

So get on your feet, wipe the dirt off and get with it. Move on, cause the past can’t be your passion. So what if you did something wrong?
